Went to The Music Exchange in Nottingham for Record Store Day and managed to get a hold of one of their two copies of the album I most wanted from the list this year, the reissue/demos of Fourteen Autumns and Fifteen Winters by the Twilight Sad. Love that album.

Really reminds me of Tom Tom Club for some reason. Here's their cameo performance from the greatest concert movie of all time. As a "yay me" moment, one of the best moments of my wife was having a conversation for a half hour with Tina Weymouth in the back of a small club. Such a friendly person. Link rather than video

Now I have to share their Suboceana, because I think it's actually a better song. This is, I feel, one of the sexiest songs ever written, and it has one of my favorite lines (especially now that I'm a dad and know that it is absolutely true): "Babies are born; they accept the bizarre."

Gave the album a stream after liking this and particularly "I Might Survive" hoping it would be a return to form for the band (albeit in a rather different style to the wonderful "In Case We Die." Unfortunately I wasn't really feeling it over the course of the album, particularly the songs where the bloke is in the forefront vocally. So yeah a few good tracks but can't see myself buying it. Oh well still got the glorious nonsense of this to go back to:

Yeah I feel the woman is probbly the best singer and it is probably a bit to much simple pop without much depth but it gets my feet tapping so I cant complain and you need to get at least one of those albums a year.

I've just begun educating one of my friends in the awesomeness that is Green Day, but I'm NOT listening to Demolicious because I HAVEN'T GOT IT YET and it's really annoying me. Still listening to Dookie though.

A new/remastered album by CYGNA, [Opus Ena]. Wooden Little People and Su Abir are highlights in my opinion. Beautiful, at times gentle, sometimes strong but not too much, also sad in a way. This version of Su Abir is slower, more detailed and gentler than the version I have listened so far (from album Fahrenheit Project 7); I like it much more.

And all this beauty for only 5 € (or more if you want). Almost a steal.
